The tip of the nose has a complex anatomical structure.Therefore, even a seemingly simple plastic surgery aimed at correcting a slight sagging of the nose or reducing its size can only be performed by a very experienced plastic surgeon.It is important that the surgeon has expertise, many years of experience and expertise.
Drooping nose tip: causes and ways to lift it
The main causes of the problem are:
- Hereditary factor.The defect may be congenital
- The problem may be caused by an injury
- This can be a complication after a failed rhinoplasty
- Or the nose has fallen due to age-related changes in the body.
Whatever the reason, such an aesthetic problem can cause a person a lot of anxiety.How to cancel it?The lifting of the nose is done by plastic surgery, using the following basic methods:
First trip- correction of the shape of the nose, including truncation of part of the lateral cartilage at the tip.It is performed in cases where the problem is congenital.The location of the cartilage removal is determined only after a thorough preoperative examination.
After cutting off the excess part of the cartilage, the remaining parts are brought together and then sewn together.Here, the precision and experience of the surgeon in performing such operations is very important.
Second way– strengthening the columella with a transplant from the patient's own cartilage tissue.
Third method– truncation of a part of the orrishms, which must hold the tip in the desired position.
Wide tip rhinoplasty
Another problem that people come to the plastic surgery clinic with is a wide, large tip.also called "potato".Usually, if you have such a defect when you are young, it becomes more noticeable as the years go by, as the ligaments that hold the lateral cartilages together are stretched.
There are three types of this nose shape:
- Not too wide
- Very wide and fleshy
- Forked
In order to reduce a nose that is not too wide, it is often necessary to bring the domes of the large cartilages closer together.According to plastic surgeons, rhinoplasty of the tip of the nose can also be performed in a closed manner.The following video clearly shows how this is done.
Reduce the round fleshy tip with thick skin
A fleshy, very wide, round nose is often reduced by cutting off and reattaching a portion of the cartilage that forms the dome.Schematically, it might look like this:
If a person has thick skin, expect to have quite a bit of swelling that will take much longer than usual to heal.
Thinning of the broad forked tip
As a result of a failed rhinoplasty, the mountain forks.To eliminate the defect, the graft taken from the patient is placed between the tips of the lateral cartilages.The nose takes on a beautiful rounded shape at the end.
Nose reduction surgery
Sometimes the nose looks wide because of the large wings.This is the simplest case when an aesthetic defect can be corrected by reducing the nostrils.This operation is not very traumatic.In this case, healing takes twice as fast, and there is no significant swelling after the operation.
Why does your tip fall off after rhinoplasty?
Immediately after rhinoplasty, patients' noses may look slightly up or slightly down.Is this normal or a complication?Do you need to do something immediately?
Plastic surgeons note that the nose may droop slightly.This problem is often caused by severe swelling and goes away over time as the swelling goes down.
If the problem does not go away, we can talk about a complication caused by the surgeon's error.This usually happens when excess tissue has been removed.
Due to the individual characteristics of the patient's body, the nose may hang down.After open rhinoplasty, we are talking about abnormal tissue scarring in the area of the columella in the incision area.
In any case, you should wait at least 6-8 months before worrying.This is exactly how long it takes for the remaining swelling to go down enough to be able to appreciate the end result.If the nose is slightly sagging due to swelling, it should rise after 2 months and take its final shape after the period indicated at the beginning of the paragraph.
You can only think about a second operation if the problem is really serious and the fears are justified.You can have a second operation only one year after the first operation.
If the nose is very pulled up after rhinoplasty, how long does it take for it to go down?
Some people experience upturned noses after plastic surgery.This problem occurs due to internal swelling of the soft tissues.If you look at the messages of patients in a similar situation on the forums, most of them had their noses restored after half a year.
